North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has accused South Korea's media of spreading false information regarding the death tolls from recent floods in the country's northwest region. Kim made these remarks during a visit to an air force helicopter unit, where he commended the troops for their efforts in rescuing flood-affected individuals.
Kim dismissed claims by South Korean media that suggested a high number of casualties and helicopter crashes during the emergency response. He labeled these reports as a 'vicious smear campaign' by the South Korean media.
